What does fashion mean to you? To apparel designer and artist Delina White, fashion is a multifaceted portrait of identity. After all, our fashion is our message to others, our outside representation of ourselves, and a reflection of what we value. White, a member of the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe, along with her daughter and granddaughter, compose apparel company I Am Anishinaabe. I Am Anishinaabe specializes in fashions that invite the wearer to express themselves and observers to be accepting toward others. Enjoy Delina's story of stitching prayers, culture, awareness, and style into well-made clothing. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

Meet Alvan, Fiona, Paloma, Franklyn and Chidera who speak about their distinctive style which complements their characters. This is a short documentary film that addresses how fashion and style is more than merely aesthetic but is subversive, symbolic and political.
The documentary addresses how one should fully embrace their autonomy and reject social norms through clothing and style. It touches on individuality through clothing, androgyny, challenging gender roles, race and stereotypes of blackness, body positivity and more.

Jessica Alba loves to play dress-up. So the actress tells Vogue.it as she approaches the final stretch of a daylong fashion shoot, which has seen racks of clothing, rows of shoes and a cluster of diamonds service her needs. As the sun sets over downtown Los Angeles, her fresh-faced beauty and upright posture betray what at this point must be sheer exhaustion; particularly because her black, lacy couture gown of choice is successfully concealing her growing second child.

As a boy, on his way to school, he used to pick a mandarin from the tree that grew in the curve of the staircase to his home. After all these years, the scent of a mandarin peel brings him back to his youth; to the classroom, notebooks and pencils to the boy he was, the person he wanted to be and, perhaps, already was in the eyes of his classmates.
Being a famous fashion designer, Hussein Chalayan picks a piece its just a fragment from the infinitely complex pattern of human experiences and relationships. Micro Geography: thats how he calls his installation in Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
The installation shows a human figure, a woman, under water. The water is moved by the wind and changes colour, depending on the time of the day. Like the small plants, the woman seems to float with the tide and to be rooted in the soil. But at the same time there are cameras everywhere. Each movement of her body is seen by many eyes. The figure is trapped in an instable network of relationships. And then yet another person comes and starts looking at her. That person is you!
Who does she want to be? Who is she in your eyes. And what does your gaze mean for who she is or will become?
This video is part of the The Art of Fashion exhibition, on view until January 10th 2010 at Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen.

'T-Shirt Talks' is a series we created inspired by a natural curiosity about people in relation to self-expression. Specifically, we wanted to look at how clothing plays a part in creating a personal statement to others about themselves. We wanted to explore how people utilized the external; how combining different pieces of clothing, colours, brands, materials help express their internal selves. No two person's styles are the same; emotions, memories, inspiration from others, and individual experiences are all attributes to what influences their decisions in creating their own personal style.

Fashion and clothing are often seen as an unimportant part of everyday life. However, clothing can be, and is, so much more than that. Even though most don't put a lot of thought into what they put on their body in the morning it can say a lot about how they act, feel, and present themselves. Marshall McLuhan says that clothing is an extension of the body. It is a part of us, just extended from our actual being. A person can say who they are just by deciding what they wear.
Society is always changing.
The past always affects the future.
Clothing reflects society.
Clothing allows for individuals to be individuals. It creates diversity among groups yet reflects what is going on in the world at the same time. Past events, films, television, music, art, and people all have affected how far clothing has come and gone. They have given inspiration. Fashion is a culture in itself using what is around it to grow. It keeps advancing and growing from what has been to create new and more creative ideas.

While in this forum I may not need to define or justify fair use, it is an issue of paramount importance to remix practitioners, especially given the exigence created by the Protect IP Act, Stop Online Piracy Act, and The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, immediate examples of war in a global village driven by technological innovation.

As new generations increasingly view gender and sexuality as unfixed, as not a question of either/or, boundaries are being broken down. Fashion too has taken up the mantle of challenging binary ideas, pushing forward a vision for genderless design.
To explore why the future of fashion is non-binary, i-D teams up with model and activist Munroe Bergdorf as she gears up for forward-thinking label Art School's spring/summer 19 show. Munroe takes us into the world of the genderless label to discuss this cultural shift, and introduces us to some of the show’s brilliant, beautiful faces.
WATCH NEXT: Munroe and Olly Alexander of Years & Years discuss dancing in nightclubs and how to look after your mental health when you’re in the public eye - https://youtu.be/q0bnndmCmSE

When you think fashion, do you immediately see long flowing dresses with models on the runway? Our next speaker aims to show us another path to follow, where fashion is removed from the realm of fantasy and finds its way closer to home.
In 2000, Jason Steel was invited to attend the Royal College of Art, London, and awarded both the Princess of Wales Bursary in conjunction with the British Fashion Council and the Thames & Hudson prize for ‘excellence and innovation.’ On graduating, he taught his newly developed approaches at leading fashion schools in the UK and South East Asia. This international work lead to his arrival in Beirut in 2013 and the creation of the LAU Fashion Design degree which sees students exploring the human condition for fashion outcomes.

One way we create our identity is with our clothes. Here we’ll discuss robes that traditional monastics use, and consider how they differ from the clothing that the rest of us use. We’ll also consider ways that we can make contemplation of clothing a part of our practice.

For a while I've noticed an increasing amount of people feeling pressured to stay tied down to one singular identity when being part of a fashion subculture, and in this video I discuss why this can be unhealthy and unecessarily stressful on an individual. I hope by sharing my thoughts here it will help put some of you at ease, if you have been worrying about if you should always be "representing" a style!
Pffft. For someone wearing a fluffy tutu and a pony shirt, I sure do go into a deep discussion here. :P

This short spoken word and fashion film aims to explore aspects of fashion culture in Liverpool, in particular, the identity of school girls and the experience growing up in impoverished areas of the city. It is made up of two poems.
MY BRANDED TONGUE
This piece is about relearning to acknowledge and identify with accent. The Scouse Accent comes with expectations and stereotypes attached to it and during my time in school doing public speaking, it was something I was taught to try and mask, something I could lose points for. The piece explores the weight of the Scouse accent, it's beauty and power. The Garment in this piece is made from old pattern pieces and the headpiece is a crane. This is to represent the new growing influence of the fashion trade in Liverpool and the old forgotten trade of docking.
SCOUSE BROWS
This piece is about freedom of finding identity as Scouser. It is heavily influenced by school girl culture, rejection of uniform codes as personal protest and aesthetics of degeneration. The garment in this piece is constructed from scraps of discarded fabric from the sewing room floor. This is to represent how what others see as obsolete can have potential and become something beautiful, just like this city's regeneration.
Thank you so much Lyndsey and Rosie for helping me produce this film. I hope you enjoy it.

In this Sunday Spiel I vlog about my life and why fashion is important to me while making my face in a rainbow made of glitter.

Our very own Taija Thomas had the opportunity to shop with Sandra and was completely blown away by the experience. Sandra began by asking how she felt. Which is not typically a question we ask ourselves when we’re shopping. We assume that what we buy is a reflection of who we are, but what Sandra wants us to recognize is: if we go into a shopping experience with a negative outlook on who or where we are in life, our subconscious mind will reflect that in the pieces we buy.

This book project assembles innovative research on the themes of dress reform ca. 1850s-1940s in East Asia. Professor Kyunghee Pyun’s lecture explores Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages of dress, body, and gender identity in the larger contexts of trade, power, modernization, and socio-political discourses. Essays in this volume illuminate, with an unprecedented scope and from a transcultural perspective, the intersections between art history, fashion history, history of consumption, political and economic history, and cultural studies.
In the process of modernization East Asian clothing underwent conspicuous changes. The Meiji government in Japan ordered a westernized revision of attires for military and government officials. Cultural leaders also responded with their own interpretations of modern identity through hybrid fashion. In late Qing and early Republican China, changing dress styles that incorporated imported tailoring and fabrics reflected the transition from the millennia-old dynastic system to modern nationhood. King Gojong of late Joseon Korea, under Japanese influence, deemed the adoption of new attires essential to modernization and decreed a series of dress reforms from the 1880s on. But the forced removal of traditional marks of status and manhood such as broad sleeves and the topknot met with vehement opposition from ministers to the ordinary people. In the twentieth century, the mass media started to play a strong role in disseminating new designs that closely followed socio-political trends.
The modernization of dress in East Asia also coincided with the diaspora of Asian immigrants to Europe and Americas in the late nineteenth and the early twentieth century. The lecture will present some examples of cultural cross-dressing by Asians and non-Asians during the Gilded Ages in the US.
